Again, the teams would go back and forth to start the fourth, as Tech would tie the game at 12 and 13, before surrendering two straight goals from the Spartans as Tech trailed 15-13. The Warriors would get a goal from Regusters with 1:12 remaining to trim the lead to one but could not find the tying goal in the closing seconds as they would fall to the Spartans in a final score of 14-15.
